STAMFORD, Connecticut (CNN) — WWE Chairman of the Board Vince McMahon is known for trying to intimidate interviewers, poking them in the chest and backhanding their notes. So CNN investigative correspondent Drew Griffin was prepared for a volatile McMahon, and so was the crew.
Linda and Vince McMahon tell CNN that World Wrestling Entertainment has a thorough wellness program. There was a third camera to stay on wide-shot, just in case he got up, tossed a chair or stormed out of the interview. None of that happened. In fact, after the interview McMahon and his wife, Linda, spent a casual few moments chatting with Griffin, producer Kathleen Johnston and the crew.
